We built a series of experiences for Smoke Machine, a secret celebration held on a decommissioned ferry boat at an undisclosed location in New York City. Together with Beau Burrows, we built the following:
• 50-ft dance floor with embedded LEDs that visitors controlled while dancing
• immersive sound puzzle in the style of a Goonies-like organ
• a breathalyzer chandelier, more booze = more light
• backlighting for a large-scale sculpture with brightness that breathed with the movement of the surrounding water
• incandescent lights that changed bulb brightness to follow visitors' movements up and down staircases
• a second sound puzzle involving the injection of music and morse code into the existing telephone infrastructure throughout the boat
